I had a new idea for a business/website and after telling a couple of people about it, they did actually say that is not a bad idea. It is a web marketing site, and unlike my other sites I won’t be relying on Adsense or affiliate programs. One of the cheapest, reliable hosting services I […]

I remember the feeling the first time I made a sale after joining an affiliate program. Simply by placing a link on my site and someone clicking on the link or buying the product from the site I made money. I don’t have to worry about shipping, keeping stock or shipping. For example, I make […]

It seems like every site out there today is selling T-Shirts with their site logo from Cafepress. I had a great idea to sell T-Shirts with some Japanese characters. I have seen foreigners in Japan wearing a T-Shirt with “I am looking for a Japanese girl-friend” written in Japanese printed on the shirt.

I just received an email from World Friends Networks asking me if I want to join their program. Their program looks a lot better than the current dating site I am promoting – friendfinder.com. I currently make around $100 a month through friendfinder, so this could be a good new source of revenue for my […]

I went out to Chiba today to see the 39th Annual Tokyo Motor Show. It’s a mecca for car enthusiasts, but for much of the day I was wondering if it was the cars or the models that were on display. You can see my picture gallery here: Tokyo Car Show Photo Gallery

If anyone is making Internet sites or blogging on the Internet, I strongly recommend using Google Alerts if you aren’t using them already. http://www.google.com/alerts I started using them to collect information for writing articles on my site or blog. Then, when I started a new site, I created a new alert just with the site […]

I have had Chitika Minimalls ads on a couple of my sites for a little while now. Adsense is still better, but it is at least another source of revenue. My main site Tokyo Essentials is a travel site and most of the ads in Chitika are for electronic products. Chitika apparently performs better on […]

The Google page rank has been updated today. Not much change on any of my sites. At least I didn’t loose any PR. My new sites that have just been setup are still at 0. Definitely just having at least one link from a PR5 site, transfers PR of 4 to the other site.

As I mentioned the other day, I am placing and avertisement in a magazine for my new New Zealand property site. The advertisement will be 1/16 of the page on nice glossy paper and will appear in the business directory of the magazine. They were kind enough to send me a couple of the magazines […]
